Precaution
On Safety
• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified
in the “Specifications” section.
• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the rear panel.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord.
If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power
immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a
damaged power cord.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for several days or more.
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by
grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
On Installation
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.)
or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block
the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration
or shock.
Handling the LCD Screen
• Bright or dark points of lights (red, blue or green) may
appear on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction.
The LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology with more than 99.99 % of the picture
elements intact. However, some picture elements may
not appear intermittently.
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place
the unit by a window.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor’s screen. Do
not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor’s screen.
This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
• If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a
residual image may appear on the screen. This is not
a malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the
screen returns to normal.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual
image may appear. The residual image will eventually
disappear.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
About the Fluorescent Tube
A specially designed fluorescent tube is installed as the
lighting apparatus for this unit. If the LCD screen
becomes dark, unstable or does not turn on, consult your
Sony dealer.
On Cleaning
Before cleaning
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet.
On cleaning the monitor
A material that withstands sterilization is used for the
front protection plate of the medical use LCD monitor.
The protection plate surface is especially treated to
reduce reflection of light. When solvents such as
benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive
detergent, or chemical cleaning cloth are used for the
protection plate surface/monitor surface, the
performance of the monitor may be impaired or the
finish of the surface may be damaged. Take care with
respect to the following:
• Clean the protection plate surface/monitor surface
with a 50 to 70 v/v% concentration of isopropyl
alcohol or a 76.9 to 81.4 v/v% concentration of
ethanol using a swab method. Wipe the protection
plate surface gently (wipe using less than 1 N force).
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such
as a cleaning cloth lightly dampened with mild
detergent solution using a swab method and then clean
using the above chemical solution.
Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner, or acid,
alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning
cloth for cleaning or sterilization, as they will damage
the protection plate surface/monitor surface.
• Do not use unnecessary force to rub the protection
plate surface/monitor surface with a stained cloth.
The protection plate surface/monitor surface may be
scratched.
• Do not keep the protection plate surface/monitor
surface in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin product
for a long period of time. The finish of the surface
may deteriorate or the coating may come off.
